Anhinga chick

We didn’t see much on our drive through Ding today, but our walk on the Indigo Trail produced several nests and a new baby Anhinga chick!

You can see from the series of photos below, that I was taking a photo of the male on the nest, when the chick popped up looking for food. The male guides the baby to reach down his throat for food.

This proud daddy seems to be smiling about his new chick!

How sweet is this?

Up here, little one!

And the baby chick manages to get his head down daddy’s throat for some food!

We saw at least 3 Yellow-Crowned Night Heron nests.

Always on the lookout for another twig for the nest!

A rather large gator was hiding in the shade under the boardwalk.

Due to bad lighting, I couldn’t get a good photo of the Little Blue Heron nesting. Maybe next time!
